Chapter 721: True Smooth Evolution
Chapter 721: True Smooth Evolution
The Desolate Spider King, after crushing the Crimson Energy Orb with its white silk, made no further moves.
It stood high above Fangy and the others, seemingly indifferent to any actions they might take.
Qiao Sang, who had just witnessed a Royal Tier Beast, had recovered from the initial shock and was quickly calculating her options.
The Treasure Seeker’s words were likely true; the Desolate Spider King and Dawnlight Mara were waiting for a familiar to arrive.
Before that familiar arrived, she and Fangy’s group were most likely safe.
There were two options.
The first was to take advantage of the familiar’s absence and launch a collective attack on Dawnlight Mara. If Dawnlight Mara’s energy became unstable and could no longer maintain its flow, the Spatial Lockdown would disappear.
However, this plan had an uncertainty.
The Desolate Spider King was currently standing next to Dawnlight Mara. Even a small display of its power was terrifying. If they really engaged in a fight, it was unclear whether Dawnlight Mara’s energy would become unstable first or if their side would be wiped out first.
The second option was to wait for the familiar to arrive and seize the moment when the Spatial Lockdown was lifted to have the Treasure Seeker use Spatial Shift to escape.
The Spatial Lockdown not only blocked the creatures inside but also prevented any from entering from the outside.
Once the familiar arrived and wanted to enter, the Spatial Lockdown would have to be temporarily lifted...
Qiao Sang quickly analyzed the feasibility and success rate of both options, concluding that the second one was the best.
After all, the first option would definitely involve a direct confrontation with the Desolate Spider King and Dawnlight Mara, which was too dangerous.
With this in mind, Qiao Sang maintained a calm exterior and patted Steel Treasure’s body, signaling it to move closer to the Treasure Seeker. Just then, a familiar voice echoed in her mind:
"Steel Guardian."
Qiao Sang was taken aback and quickly looked down at Steel Treasure, who was carrying her.
Steel Treasure turned its head to meet her gaze, then turned back, acting as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Sang tentatively spoke in her mind:
"Steel Treasure?"
"Steel Guardian." Steel Treasure’s voice echoed in her mind again.
Damn, Steel Treasure could now communicate with her telepathically... Qiao Sang was both surprised and delighted.
As a Beastmaster with a Bond Evolution familiar, understanding the advantages and disadvantages of Bond Evolution was essential.
When the bond between a Beastmaster and their familiar reached a certain level, they could not only share thoughts but also communicate directly through telepathy.
However, the strength of the bond was difficult to quantify, so the available information did not specify exactly what level was needed for telepathic communication.
Qiao Sang never expected that the bond between her and Steel Treasure had reached such a high level!
"Steel Guardian."
As she was thinking, Steel Treasure called out in her mind, indicating it had a plan.
"Are you thinking of using Air Absorption?" Qiao Sang immediately guessed Steel Treasure’s idea.
The Spatial Lockdown not only blocked the entry and exit of creatures but also prevented the circulation of air. If Air Absorption were used to absorb all the air within the barrier, Dawnlight Mara would be forced to lift the Spatial Lockdown to avoid suffocation.
"Steel Guardian." Steel Treasure nodded.
“No.” Qiao Sang refused. “With your current size, it would take you at least a few minutes to absorb all the air in here. During those few minutes, they will notice the thinning air and definitely attack you.”
“Steel Guardian.” Steel Treasure had already thought of this and called out, indicating it could evolve.
Evolve? Qiao Sang was instantly enlightened.
Now, the bond between her and Steel Treasure was strong enough. Steel Treasure could temporarily evolve into a Steel Slash Giant Falcon through Bond Evolution. At that stage, its size would be nearly four meters, which could indeed absorb the air here much faster.
However, it still wasn't enough.
As long as it took more than a few seconds to absorb all the air within the barrier, Steel Treasure would be at risk of being attacked...
But if it wasn't a temporary evolution, but a true evolution...
Qiao Sang's heart raced as she thought of something. Honestly, if everything went smoothly and Steel Treasure could absorb all the air, and Dawnlight Mara could lift the Spatial Lockdown, this would indeed be the best choice.
No matter what, the level, attributes, and strength of the familiar that would come were unknown.
If it was another Royal Tier Beast...
“Xunxun!”
Suddenly, Treasure Seeker displayed an "I've got it" expression.
Qiao Sang was startled, pulled her thoughts back, and asked, “What did you think of?”
“Xunxun!”
“Xunxun!”
Treasure Seeker called out with a very confident expression, indicating that the one coming would definitely be the Sandland Wyrm they had encountered earlier. That creature had said something about 'the hunt beginning,' just like the big bad guy in a TV drama.
As soon as these words were spoken, Desolate Spider King and Dawnlight Mara both glanced at Treasure Seeker.
Their eyes seemed to say:
So what if you know?
There was no need for further guessing. From the looks in these two familiars' eyes, Qiao Sang understood that Treasure Seeker's analysis was correct.
Sandland Wyrm, a Royal Tier Beast...
No wonder Dawnlight Mara had immediately cast Spatial Lockdown upon arrival, and stealthily at that. It was because Treasure Seeker had used Spatial Shift in front of the Sandland Wyrm...
If it was the Sandland Wyrm, it knew that Treasure Seeker had movement skills. It might attack Treasure Seeker first to prevent it from escaping...
But there was another possibility...
Qiao Sang's heart suddenly tightened.
If the Sandland Wyrm and Dawnlight Mara already knew that Treasure Seeker could use Spatial Shift, then when the Sandland Wyrm arrived, Dawnlight Mara could easily shrink the range of the Spatial Lockdown, trapping only Treasure Seeker inside...
“Sigh...” Qiao Sang let out a long breath, steadying her mind.
Although everything was still just a hypothesis, to prevent such a situation, they had to implement another plan...
Qiao Sang quickly communicated with Steel Treasure through her mind.
“Steel Guardian.” After half a minute, Steel Treasure responded in her mind, indicating it understood.
Then it flew down and landed on the ground.
Qiao Sang dismounted.
In the next second, white light enveloped Steel Treasure.
Desolate Spider King and Dawnlight Mara instantly focused their attention on it, but they made no move.
Not interrupting Evolution, do they think Steel Treasure's Evolution won't pose much of a threat to them? Qiao Sang secretly observed the facial expressions of the two familiars in the sky.
Realizing that they indeed had no intention of interrupting the Evolution, her heart rate involuntarily quickened.
Soon, Steel Treasure's body slowly grew, stopping at nearly four meters.
When the white light faded, it had transformed into the Steel Slash Giant Falcon.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy, seeing this, excitedly called out, urging Steel Treasure to hurry up and join the fight!
Then, it bared its fangs at the Desolate Spider King and Dawnlight Mara in the sky.
You really are reckless... Qiao Sang signaled Fangy to quiet down with a look.
"Ya Fangy"
Fangy, feeling its Beastmaster's gaze, showed a pained expression.
It didn't understand why it was being watched by two creatures that neither fought nor left.
Qiao Sang ignored it, focusing her attention on Steel Treasure, the Desolate Spider King, and Dawnlight Mara.
Noticing their lack of interest in Steel Treasure's Evolution, Qiao Sang had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
She gave Steel Treasure a subtle nod, and Steel Treasure instantly understood.
In the next second, its body slowly shrank, and its appearance changed as well.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy became anxious.
Why are you changing back?
We haven't even fought yet!
Qiao Sang glanced at Fangy.
Fangy pouted and quieted down.
Seeing the little guy transform back to its original form, the Desolate Spider King and Dawnlight Mara were first taken aback, then showed a keen interest.
"Chao Chao?"
Dawnlight Mara couldn't help but call out, asking why it could change back.
"Steel Guardian."
Steel Treasure called out, indicating that it was a question for its Beastmaster.
During their exchange, Qiao Sang signaled Treasure Seeker.
Treasure Seeker immediately floated over.
"Take out the Morphing Fruit", Qiao Sang whispered.
She had exchanged credits for the Morphing Fruit, and Sai Nan High School had sent it directly to her.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker remembered the item, removed its Ring, and reached in with its claws.
At this moment, the Desolate Spider King and Dawnlight Mara were focused on Steel Treasure, paying no attention to what was happening here.
Once Qiao Sang obtained the Morphing Fruit, she looked at Dawnlight Mara and tempted, "Want to see it again?"
"Chao Chao!"
Dawnlight Mara finally gave Qiao Sang a proper look and nodded.
Qiao Sang nodded at Steel Treasure.
Steel Treasure understood and was once again enveloped in white light.
At the same time, Qiao Sang's consciousness entered the Beastmaster Codex.
Having Steel Treasure undergo a Bond Evolution was just to confirm whether the Desolate Spider King and Dawnlight Mara would interrupt the process.
Since they wouldn't, she could now let Steel Treasure complete its Evolution with confidence.
After the Evolution, it would consume the Morphing Fruit.
With a nearly eight-meter body, it would absorb all the air in the sealed area within seconds!
